Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 101 Mission: 03-6 Crimson Annihilation
Under the crimson moonlight, Hai Ling walked on the deserted street.

She walked quickly and soon entered Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, taking the elevator to the aquarium on the tenth floor plaza. Red moonlight penetrated the aquarium's glass dome, staining the clear water a bloody hue.

There were no living creatures here either. How could anyone come to an aquarium without fish?
But there is indeed such a person, standing here at this moment, looking at the crimson moonlight penetrating the pool water, as if waiting for something, and as if missing something.

"'Oblivionis'." Hai Ling called out her name.

The demon with this name had long, pale blue hair, almost the same color as the aquarium's actual water. Most of it was draped behind her, with the exception of a small side ponytail tied with a black bow on each side. Hearing Hai Ling's voice, she slowly turned, revealing a pair of amber pupils reflecting red light beneath her half-mask. Her black veiled skirt swayed gently with her movements.

"Is it 'fear'? What's going on?"

"I'm a little concerned about your condition."

Hai Ling leaned casually against the glass curtain wall, eyes slightly closed: "Is that guy invading here again?"

Upon hearing this, Annihilation frowned slightly and said, "That's none of your concern. Or do you not trust me?"

Hai Ling opened her eyes, her gaze filled with condemnation: "You don't trust me, right?"

But she immediately changed the subject: "But this is only natural. After all, I am not the same as you."

"There are no fellow travelers among us," Annihilation replied coldly. "We don't share the same goals, and we're only here to collaborate. You know what to call such people."

"Birds of a feather." Hai Ling smiled slightly, then turned and said, "But you're not right. We're not just together for cooperation... we're also here to heal each other's wounds."

Annihilation closed her eyes. She looked up, and after a moment, she asked, "Are you here to accuse me of not being fully committed to you?"

"How can it be."

Hai Ling looked expressionlessly at the crimson moon shattered into pieces in the pool water, and said softly, "She's fine now, so I won't say anything more. But BOSS."

When Annihilation looked down at her, Hai Ling continued, "If I were sure you couldn't defeat it, I wouldn't hesitate to switch jobs."

"Please do as you please. If you find a better place to go, I won't stop you."

The blue-haired demon girl turned around and looked at the moon above her head again.

"I'm serious this time," said Hai Ling.

"Me too. Or do you think I'm joking at any point?"

Annihilation didn't turn around, but simply tilted his head slightly to look at her. "But I'm just curious about one thing—who is that person?"

"The guy who blocked us last time."

"Ah... the guy wearing a mask like us?"

"If I heard correctly, her name should be 'Samael'."

"Half angel, half demon? Interesting." Hai Ling changed the subject again and took the initiative to bring up another matter: "By the way, you should know that the operation against Takamatsu Deng failed. It was also that guy who interfered."

Annihilation turned her head and looked straight ahead, falling silent. Hai Ling did not urge her, but quietly waited for her answer.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Annihilation's voice lost its warmth. "Let's give up on her."

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Hai Ling frowned slightly and chuckled softly, "What a heartless woman."

"Wrong, 'fear'."

Annihilation's gaze returned, the red light from the moon flickering deep in his pupils: "I am a demon."

"I knew you'd say that." Hai Ling stood up from the glass wall she was leaning against and walked out of the aquarium. When she neared the door, she stopped and turned back. "But I still have to warn you, Boss... If you're going to give up on Li Xi like you did this time, I won't just sit back and watch."

Oblivion didn't answer. The footsteps gradually faded away, and the eternal crimson moonlight still enveloped the city.

And in the same identical city, there is a place where the crimson moonlight cannot shine.

Nero spent the next few days in relative peace. Every night, he and Lenai would search for demons that had appeared in the city, gather information about "Little Ace," and teach Lenai how to use magic. The days passed like this.

Lenai has a "wild intuition". She can instinctively perceive how to improve her combat effectiveness. So even though Nero himself is a half-baked person who can only use magic through the Yama Blade or the Sin Stone, he quickly taught Lenai some skills in using magic.

However, Lena is just an ordinary girl, so all the magic power she can use comes from the magic tool "Maxias". Therefore, this magic power can hardly be used to create anything other than fire. Lena's greatest achievement in the past few days is to complete a double jump in the air while stepping on flames.

As for long-range attacks... I can only say that she still has a long way to go.

As for clues, Nero learned that "Little Ace" had long ears like a rabbit but moved like a cat, which reminded her of another creature that was good at deceiving young girls. She also learned that this creature gave others magical tools in exchange for "granting wishes" so that they could fight against demons.

Lenai had said her wish was to "meet someone interesting and become their friend." Now that her relationship with Nero had become quite good, that wish had naturally been fulfilled. However, Nero didn't believe the demon could manipulate a Spartan descendant like her, or manipulate her fate. The fulfillment of this wish now seemed like pure coincidence.

This also shows that the so-called wish fulfillment of "Little Ace" is a complete scam.

So, how were the others deceived? In order to expose the deception and identify the scammer, this was something Nero had to understand.

With such doubts, Nero came to the campus on the first day after the holiday.

After all, the monthly exam couldn't be scheduled on the first day after the holiday; we had to give the students a day or two to adjust. So, in anticipation of the exam the next day, the atmosphere in the classroom was somewhat tense.

But for Nero, the thing that makes her nervous is not the exam.

Today, she plans to visit the Toyokawa family's mansion.
